The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a 30% solution of H₂O₂ is marketed as '100 volume' hydrogen peroxide. - This means that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the solution is significant enough to produce a certain volume of oxygen gas when it decomposes. 2. **Understanding the 30% Solution**: - A 30% solution of H₂O₂ means that there are 30 grams of H₂O₂ in every 100 mL of solution. - For 1 liter (1000 mL) of this solution, the total amount of H₂O₂ is: \[ \text{Amount of H₂O₂ in 1 L} = 30 \, \text{g} \times 10 = 300 \, \text{g} \] 3. **Chemical Reaction**: - The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide can be represented by the equation: \[ 2 \, \text{H₂O₂} \rightarrow 2 \, \text{H₂O} + \text{O₂} \] - From this balanced equation, we can see that 2 moles of H₂O₂ produce 1 mole of O₂. 4. **Calculating Moles of H₂O₂**: - The molar mass of H₂O₂ is 34 g/mol. Therefore, the number of moles in 300 g of H₂O₂ is: \[ \text{Moles of H₂O₂} = \frac{300 \, \text{g}}{34 \, \text{g/mol}} \approx 8.82 \, \text{mol} \] 5. **Calculating Volume of O₂ Produced**: - According to the reaction, 2 moles of H₂O₂ produce 1 mole of O₂. Therefore, the moles of O₂ produced from 8.82 moles of H₂O₂ will be: \[ \text{Moles of O₂} = \frac{8.82}{2} \approx 4.41 \, \text{mol} \] - At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L. Thus, the volume of O₂ produced is: \[ \text{Volume of O₂} = 4.41 \, \text{mol} \times 22.4 \, \text{L/mol} \approx 98.8 \, \text{L} \] - This can be approximated to 100 L. 6. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true because a 30% solution of H₂O₂ does indeed correspond to '100 volume' hydrogen peroxide. - The reason, however, states that 1 L of 30% H₂O₂ will give 100 mL of oxygen, which is incorrect since it actually produces approximately 100 L of oxygen. ### Final Answer: - Assertion: True - Reason: False

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a 30% solution of H₂O₂ is marketed as '100 volume' hydrogen peroxide. - This means that the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the solution is significant enough to produce a certain volume of oxygen gas when it decomposes. ...
